So far, more than 1,800 murals （壁画) have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city. The walls that were once ugly with graffiti are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program （MAP). Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens are very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphias Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAPs artistic director. When people ask me what our program is about, she says, I answer them with one word: hope. Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals. The MAPs work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of community （社区). When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been Safe Streets, Love and Care, and Peace Walk. The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals. The making of a mural enters peoples collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.28.

Therefore, a fitness program that works over a long period of time is something you should be looking for.

Unrealistic promisesA good program should not make unrealistic promises, such as “To lose 5 pounds in a week, with no exercise!” Therefore, it is advisable to judge whether the promises being made are realistic.

With proper communication, however, you can build bridges between the school and home. 36 If you do it properly, this is an excellent way to communicate when you cannot meet with parents face to face.Put positive communication in the letter, even if you are writing to discuss a problem. 37 Even if it is difficult, you must find this positive spin, because it will make the parents more open to what you have to discuss. The general rule is “start with the good, hit them with the bad, then end on a positive note”. 38 _ Express your concern and desire to help. Do not place it completely on their shoulders, as they may resent(厌恶)this action. Show them through the letter that you want to work with them to find a solution.Ask for a response. You can ask them to write back, sign a part of the letter or give you a call. 39 Be caring, but make sure they got the communication. Remember, your goal is to work together to help their child succeed.Consider mailing the letter to the parent, rather than sending it home with the student.

If you do not hear from them, you should call themC. Share the problem with the parents.D. Respect parents and never quarrel with them.E. Whenever you meet with problems, you should keep cool.F.

Before I realized 65 (I) mistake, it was too late. Luckily, no one 66 (hurt). Only after this experience did I 67 (clear) understand the sailing phrase “turning on the wind” that I 68 (read) so many times in the textbook.I never confused a “jibe” with a “tack” again! Now I often share this story 69 my students after they have made mistakes. I hope they can learn something from their mistakes and correct them inste
